Hold on to your hats, rumour fans, because two of the biggest potential Premier League transfers in years are now in the offing according to reports.

The Times newspaper reckons that Manchester United's bionic bulldog Wayne Rooney is on the very-wanted list of oil-rich Paris St Germain.

Not for the first time, of course, but apparently Wazza's status has been downgraded at Old Trafford after the arrival of Robin van Persie, and the French club are now ready to test Fergie's resolve with a monster punt this summer - possibly cuing a tearful reunion with David Beckham!

The Daily Star newspaper claims an exclusive with its story that Gareth Bale will soon be the subject of a £40million punt by Real Madrid as the Spanish giants seek a replacement for on-his-way-out Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Star report that Real will put £30m on the table at White Hart Lane and add £10m more over the next four years. Transfer talks between Bale and the Bernabeu boys are in the offing "in the next few weeks", as they feature on an exclusive list of clubs who the Welshman can meet with, according to the terms of his contract!
